Essex / Re: The PEACOCKS of Matching
« on: Saturday 15 July 23 14:07 BST (UK)  »
Hello, I am also tracing our family line of Peacock in Matching Essex - we come through an Elizabeth Peacock born 1797 to John and Ann Peacock. Problem is there is no other record of this Ann being married to a John Peacock and everyone assumes it the mother should be Mary Little - and that the parish priest must have made a typo.  However Mary did have a sister Ann - so it is not inconceivable that either Elizabeth was born to Ann and John out of wedlock or else there may have been another John Peacock to whom she was married that wasn't recordered?  I know the Burger web site has some theories but I was wondering if anyone else has managed to solve the mystery?

Hi All,

It's been a couple of years - without any progress on this particular line - however I may have just stumbled on a set of legal docs from the UK National Archives that may shed some light on a John Fortescue in the 16th Century that may have been the original landowner in Baulking and other nearby towns.  Problem is I can't decipher the old English very easily - so I was wondering if there is anyone else out there that may be good at reading old documents from the 16th century?  If so - I would greatly appreciate any help.  Please see attached files.

Kind Regards,

John

Hi Trevor,

I had a another look at the Fortescues you mentioned that were from Little Coxwell, Great Coxwell and Wantage.

I assume you may already have this info, however -

The James Fortescue born in 1736 in Great Coxwell would only have been 15 years old if he was the one married in 1751 to Elizabeth Hazel in Uffington?

There was a Thomas Fortescue christened on the same day as his brother John in Faringdon on 14/10/1758 - maybe twins (or they just saved up and went to town to do both on the same day?)

John Fortescue and Sarah (m. 1780 in Wantage) had Anne and Jane (both Christened on 22/1/1787 - twins again?), and Sarah (1784) and Elizabeth (1781)


Cheers,

John

Hi Trevor, how are you? Sorry I missed your post from a couple of years ago!  Again - this family must be closely connected to my direct ancestors having come from such a close village - I just haven't found any James Fortescue in my line as yet - but as mentioned in my previous post I plan to sit down and try and tie all the closely linked Fortescue families of Berkshire together and see where that takes me.  Hopefully I can find the connection and ultimately find the missing link between all these Berkshire Fortescue families back to the main Fortescue tree. Best regards John

Hi KN, thanks for the tip - it's been such a long time I wasn't aware this thread was still active! (But so glad it is!)

I looked your reference to the other thread - here it is extracted:

18-1-1802 Francis Giles (x), otp  to
                Elizabeth Fortescue (x) otp
wit; Luke Pigott, clerk of the parish.

extracted from the  Letcombe Regis transcriptions on the Oxfordshire FHS CD (OXF-WAN01) with their permission.
 
Unfortunately I can't see a link between my direct Fortescues and this Elizabeth - but they must be related. I need to go through all the Berkshire Fortescue marriages and burial indexes I have been sent recently and sort out each family and try and work out where they all connect. Thanks again for keeping in touch!  Kind Regards John

Hello,

Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on this coat of arms found above the door of a house called Baulking Grange in Baulking Berkshire.

Kind regards

John
